(Forgot to CC my response to the list...)
Thanks a lot this is exactly what I'm looking for! This is how I'll
probably use it...
----------------
> a
cola colb
1 1 2
2 2 3
> f <- textConnection("s_a", "w")
> write.csv(a, f, row.names=F)
> close(f)
# Next do something with s_a...though probably not the following which #
is pointless.
> s_a
[1] "\"cola\",\"colb\"" "1,2" "2,3"
> read.csv(text=s_a)
cola colb
1 1 2
2 2 3
----------------
Thanks again everyone!
Cheers,
Thomas
